MrsManhattan's NEO 105 Rimless tank

mrsmanhattan · Feb 16, 2014

First thing I did on Friday night was set up my 4 stage RO/DI system in the garage. I have a utility sink in there so I hooked it up to the sink in there and flushed the system, then I put the water collection tube into my existing shelfreliance bpa free 55 gallon plastic drum. Then I put the vinyl onto the back of my tank.

Then I set up My Kessil lights with a tank mounts. It didnt come with instructions so it took me a bit of time to figure it out. Now we are on plumbing...wish us luck!

None of your attachments are working, but I'm going to wish you luck anyway. Hopefully no leaks!

Sorry about the attachments, I'll have to figure that out. It did leak on the return pipes (I guess we're not great plumbers). So instead of buying a new kit I just generously applied the plumbers glue until the leak disappeared but I'm very anxious about the way it will hold up. Everything else is going well, the water, rocks, and substrate are all in there. The skimmer is working great, as well as the pump. It is really beautiful and the kids are super stoked.

I'm going to be jealous...I went into my LFS to have them order this same tank. They had a 75g rimless in the store so I went with it. I'm using the Kessil's also. Can't wait to see your pics.

Also waiting to see pics!

Okay, lets see if this works.

I am going to move the picture behind it but then I will have some texturing and painting to do from the holes so I AM dragging my feet on that one...lol My tank is testing really low on amonia <.25 and about a 1ppm on nitrite. Everything is running so smooth with the plumbing and the skimmer I'm very satisfied with it so far. Now I am banging my head on deciding what to add first and how to QT new fish if I should at all.

How do you have the kessil's attached?

What are the dimensions of the display tank? These 105s are making me want to upgrade!

If it's the same as mine, then it's 48L x 24D x 21H

Yes same dimensions as hung. They have tank attachments (not sure the name brand). They are a bit like the goosenecks sold except the wires from the lights feed inside the metal tube. Ill post the pictures of those next. They were a bit tricky to figure out how they fit together but with trial and error I was able to figure it out.
